  Covers: Harley-Davidson Sportster 1999

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: motorcycles. The certification label incorrectly indicates the front tire size as 100/90-19 57h instead of the corret designation mh90-21 56h. Also the certification labels do not contain the correct model designation. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for motor vehicles other than passenger cars."

  Possible consequence: If incorrect tire information is given, underrated tires could be placed on the motorcycle causing excessive tire wear or, in extreme cases, possible tire blowouts.

  Remedy: Owners will be provided with new certification labels and installation instructions. If an owner desires, their dealer can install the label for them.
